Chapter 32 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (32)
Soon, neighboring villages also knew that there was a little expert in Xujiacun who plowed the fields very quickly.
I didn’t believe it at first. How could anyone plow so fast? This is not flat land.
It is difficult to plow muddy land, let alone plowing deeply, you are lying!
Until they sent people to Xujia Village to find out the truth, they witnessed Xu Yin driving a tractor that was difficult for them to drive through the mud for half an hour, plowing a large area...
“What? The village next door also wants me to drive a tractor?”
Hearing the news conveyed by the old party secretary, Xu Yin paused while wiping her face with a towel.
After five days of busy work, the advanced driving skills have been unlocked, and she also received the task reward from the system—
A new energy long-distance RV not only has complete functions and a large load capacity, it can also go up mountains and seas, and has a range of more than a thousand kilometers.
With it, you don’t have to worry about not being able to book a room wherever you want to travel in the future.
Xu Yin was quite satisfied, finally living up to her hard work during this period.
"Girl Yin, it's up to you whether you want to or not." The old party secretary patted his pipe and said, "However, there is a big lake in their village, and they collectively raise some fish, shrimps and crabs. You help them plow the land, and they promise to share some fish and shrimps with you." You. It would be nice to have two more fresh dishes on the table."
Speaking of fish, Xu Yin has long wanted to ask: "Grandpa, Party Secretary, why don't our village raise some fish in the rice fields? Put down the fry now, and they will be harvested when the early rice is harvested. Even if you don't want to do business, you just want to catch a few fish." Come and eat, wouldn’t it be nice to have more fresh meat dishes on the table?”
“Raising fish in rice fields? Can they survive?” The old party secretary was full of doubts.
"Yes, this fish will eat weeds, pests and fallen rice flowers in the rice fields. The fish excrement can provide fertilizer for the rice. It is easier to take care of than raising it in rivers and lakes."
"Really? Tell me, how to raise money specifically?" The old party secretary's eyes shone, and he pulled Xu Yin to discuss.
As for what the next village asked him to do, it’s none of their business. Let’s talk about it tomorrow!
“Yin Yin, what kind of rice flower fish you told the old party secretary, can we raise it in our fields?”
Xu’s mother had just heard it, and after the party secretary left, she couldn’t help but ask her daughter.
Xu Yin nodded: "Of course."
“How many of them should we keep at home? I’ll make fish soup for you then.”
It just so happened that Xu Yin was going to the next village to help plow the land. There was a collective fish pond there, so Xu's mother went with them and bought a few two-finger-wide small crucian carp, small carp, and small grass carp to use as fry. . When the water is released in the rice field at home, put it in and raise it.
Xu Yin twitched her lips when she saw the fry her mother picked out: "Mom, is this too little?"
In later generations, one acre of land could raise eight hundred or thousands of fish. Even if we didn’t dare to raise more fish at first, these hundred or so fish would still be too few. If you put it in a rice field, you won't be able to find it.
“Isn’t this enough?”
Even Xu’s mother thought it was too much, and the fry were not cheap either.
But since there are not enough girls, let’s have more.
Xu’s mother gritted her teeth and added a hundred or so fish. When she finally counted them, she found that the total number of three kinds of fry was two hundred and sixty-eight, which was quite an auspicious number.
Fry money is not money. Xu Yin stopped trying to persuade him.
Although it is indeed easier to raise fish in rice fields than in fish ponds, it does not mean that you don’t need to take care of the fry anymore. At least the fish must be fed, otherwise the fish will be long and thin and not fat enough.
Now there is no place to buy ready-made fish food. Xu Yin endured the pain and spent 500 energy points to exchange for a fish food formula suitable for rural use, which is the cake residue after oil extraction from rapeseed, rice bran, and bran that are available in every household. Wait, mix them together and let them ferment for two or three days, and then they can be used when they are ripe.
But these all require people to do it. My parents are getting older, so I need to raise them less.
Perhaps when she sees the harvest, her mother will rush to buy more fry to raise next year without her urging.
Fortunately, Xu’s mother followed Xu Yin to Hutang Village early in the morning to buy fish fry. When she returned home after buying, the villagers who learned the news from the old party secretary also came to Hutang Village to buy fish fry.
Huntang Village is quite happy that it is rare for someone to buy it, and it is also a good fortune to make extra money.
But when there are too many people coming to buy, I won’t be happy anymore.
The fish in their lakes are all produced in a cycle of big fish producing roe, roe turning into small fish, and small fish turning into big fish. If all the fry are bought, will there be any big fish to eat in their own village? Are there any fish roe products?
“I won’t sell it anymore, I won’t sell it anymore!”
After discussion, the cadres of Hutang Village collectively opposed the further sale of fry.
The people in Xujia Village said that they could not persuade the people in Hutang Village to continue selling fish fry, so they had no choice but to go to the county town to find out where they could sell fish fry.
Of course there is, but even if it costs a little money and time to transport it back, it will take two or three days at the earliest. Some even put it down a week later than the old Xu family.
Of course, not everyone in Xujia Village listens to Lao Zhi’s calligraphy and painting pie—following the trend to buy fish fry and raise rice and flower fish, at most one-third.
After all, fry are not cheap. If they can’t be kept alive, won’t the money be wasted?
Therefore, most people hold a conservative attitude and choose to sit on the sidelines and see if the rice fish can survive and whether it is worth raising. Anyway, the rice fields are there, and if you can support them, it won’t be too late to follow them next year.
Among those who choose to raise fish, Xu Jianjun’s family raises the most, more than 300 fish more than Xu Yin’s family. One acre of rice field raises a total of 600 fish.
"Look at you, Xu Yin's family only raises more than 200. You insist on raising 600. If you don't want to raise them, you plan to rent someone else's rice field to raise them. I'm really going to be **** off by you!" Xu Dajiao One head and two big ones, "If you can't take care of them later, it's up to you to fix them."
Xu Jianjun heard his mother talking the same thing these days and smiled: "Don't worry, Mom! I will definitely make money for you."
“Don’t blame me for being Amitabha, you can still make money!” Xu Daji glared at him angrily, “I don’t know who gave you the confidence.”
“Hey, just wait to collect the money!”
Xu Jianjun really didn’t want to raise so many at first. He was chatting with his classmates when he was in night school. When he talked about this, the biology teacher overheard him. He even said that raising fish in rice fields is a good method. If you raise them carefully, the fish will definitely grow better than fish. It is grown in large quantities in the pond, and it is said that it is worthy of promotion.
Xu Jianjun rolled his eyes when he saw what his teachers said, and decided to buy another batch of fish fry. If his mother hadn't refused to use the money saved to marry him a wife, he would have wanted to raise more.
Xu Jianjun’s behavior inspired several families, all of whom were brothers who had followed him in the brick factory to earn extra money.
Other families are still reluctant to spend their capital, and they express doubts about fish farming in rice fields. Some even gloat and wait to see Xu Jianjun and others lose money.
Xu Yin finished plowing the land in Hutang Village and returned home carrying two large grass carp weighing more than three kilograms.
There are two baskets hanging on the bicycle faucet, one basket of eels and one basket of shrimps, as payment for her help in plowing the fields.
